HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE (HGH)
About test
What does HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE (HGH) measure?
This test measures the level of human growth hormone (HGH) in the body. Growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland and supports normal growth, body composition, and metabolism. The test may be used as part of an evaluation for suspected growth hormone deficiency or excess, or to assess pituitary gland function. HGH levels can vary during the day, so results are interpreted alongside clinical findings and, when needed, other tests.
